Written in a humming oscillation between the high & the low, the anecdotal/biographic & the crypto-theoretical (and abundantly sprinkled with intrusive thoughts and "spicy" punctuations and outcries); this buffet of essays will be a delight for the Gurdjieff-connaisseurs. I listened to various interviews with Layman Pascal before purchasing the book, and there was (to me) no doubt: he "knows". Throughout the book I felt a cheeky innuendo ("sous-entendu" in French) that often made me grin. Mike Readshaw gets mentioned twice, which proves Pascal's intellectual honesty. It cannot be denied that Readshaw is the true visionary that helped hatch the egg-that-skipped-a-generation. Without Readshaw's repetitive, hypnotic lectures on YouTube, I would have been unable to grasp "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grand-Son", and even less Layman Pascal's metamodern remake.
